  • You’re Not Crazy. You’re in Menopause.

    You’re Not Crazy. You’re in Menopause.
    Jul 22 2025
    You’re fully supported during pregnancy—then written off for the rest of your life. Menopause isn’t a mystery. It’s just not in the curriculum. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I’m joined by Dr. Heather Hirsch, a Harvard-trained menopause expert who left the system because it was failing women. Miserably. She went through med school, OB/GYN residency, and internal medicine—and still learned nothing about menopause. It wasn’t until her fellowship that she saw the truth: late reproductive health isn’t just neglected in medical training—it’s erased. Meanwhile, women in midlife are showing up with brain fog, night sweats, mood changes, cholesterol spikes—and walking out with Ambien, statins, or a pat on the head. Hormones aren’t even part of the conversation. Because somewhere along the line, we decided estrogen was dangerous and suffering was just part of the deal. This episode cuts through the noise. We talk about how the system trains even the most well-meaning providers to miss the entire second half of a woman’s healthspan. We unpack why chronic diseases explode after 40, how estrogen became medicine’s favorite scapegoat, and what it actually sounds like when a woman is given a real conversation—not a reflexive “no.” If you’ve ever left an appointment wondering if you were being dramatic—or if this was just what midlife feels like—don’t miss this. It will validate what you’ve felt for years, and give you language for what the system keeps missing. This episode will light a fire in you. You’ll laugh, you’ll rage, you’ll want to send it to every doctor you’ve ever seen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Clearing the Confusion on Brain Fog

    Clearing the Confusion on Brain Fog
    Jul 19 2025
    Brain fog is one of those symptoms that’s hard to explain but impossible to ignore. In this episode, Dr. E dives into what brain fog really is—beyond the vague feeling of mental haze—and explains why it's a sign of neuroinflammation. Though not recognized by conventional medicine, millions of people experience it daily, often without answers. Dr. E unpacks the biology behind brain fog, including how lifestyle, diet, stress, and sleep play a role in either calming or inflaming the brain. She breaks down the science of microglia activation (M1 vs. M2), the surprising ways everyday substances like gluten and dairy affect brain function, and how even seemingly minor choices can either trigger or reduce brain fog. This episode is both a validation for anyone who’s struggled to feel mentally clear and a deep, accessible look at the root causes most people never hear about. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Perimenopause, Plant Medicine, and the Future of Women’s Health

    Perimenopause, Plant Medicine, and the Future of Women’s Health
    Jul 15 2025
    What happens when a board-certified OB-GYN starts questioning everything she was taught? In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne, a conventionally trained physician who nearly walked away from medicine altogether—until she realized the problem wasn’t her. It was the system. And the ones impacted the most? Mid-life women searching for answers. In this episode, we talk about why so many midlife women are being ignored, misdiagnosed, or flat-out dismissed. As Dr. Suzanne puts it, “Tell me you don’t like older women without telling me you don’t like older women.” We talk about what it means to blend surgical precision with Ayurvedic wisdom, how integrative medicine started as a whisper behind closed doors. Dr. Suzanne opens up about the fear of being labeled “quacky,” the burnout of practicing within insurance constraints, and the radical act of slowing down enough to listen. We also dig into the structural mess—PBMs, prior authorizations, and why clinicians and patients are both suffering. But this conversation isn’t just about what’s broken. It’s about what’s possible. It’s about women reclaiming agency in midlife and clinicians rebuilding medicine on their own terms. This one’s for anyone who’s tired of being dismissed, miscategorized, or left behind. Come for the hormone talk. Stay for the revolution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
